Ari Rabkin commented on CHUKWA-446:
-----------------------------------

I think there's a typo on "ChukwaArachiveManager"

Should be Archive, I think, not Arachive.

Are we ditching start-agents and start-collectors?  I use those...but would be happy if they moved to some auxiliary directory to make bin look less scary.

> 1. The scripts try to write lock files to /var/lock/subsys, which is owned by root. We should change this location to be somewhere that doesn't require root access.
> 2. The actual run command does an su to the CHUKWA_USER which also caused problems for us. It seems like it would be cleaner to not embed the su calls in the script, but instead allow the user to su when they run the script (which worked much better for us). That way everything done by the script would be done by the same user.
> 3. Each script has CHUKWA_HOME, CHUKWA_CONF_DIR and CHUKWA_USER hard coded. Hard coded defaults is ok, but the ability to override them without modifying the scripts would be ideal.
